Chapter 81 tit for tat

"I'm not hiding your Majesty, this is true. After hearing the news of Dong Zhuo's death, Zhu Cheqi was worried about the political situation in the court. He rushed to Chang'an without stopping and handed over the 5,000 private soldiers he commanded to the weak ministers for their control. After Zhu Cheqi came to Chang'an, he went directly to Wang Situ, put forward various suggestions, and volunteered to share the worries of the court. However, for some reason, Wang Situ refused Zhu Cheqi's suggestion and concealed Zhu Cheqi's affairs and asked Zhu Cheqi to be his aide. It's a pity that Zhu Cheqi's desire to serve the country has become someone else's aide. It's really sad."

Pei Qing knew that Wang Yun had not been alive for a few days, and now that there are Pei Mao, Wu and Lu Bu in the court, they are all supporting him, but Wang Yun is targeting him everywhere. Since this is the case, why should he be afraid of Wang Yun? He can take this opportunity to weaken his strength.

After hearing this, the little emperor looked at Wang Yun and said, "Wang Situ, is this the case? Do you think you can send Zhu Cheqi to lead the army to help General Xu Rong?"

The first half of the sentence of the little emperor sounded very imposing, but in the second half, it immediately became a tone of negotiation, which made Pei Qing secretly sigh that the little emperor was constrained from the beginning and has now formed a weak character. I am afraid this is also an important reason why he has never been able to control the government?

"The same little emperor, who was also a powerful minister, but Kangxi was able to take the opportunity to take over the power, but today's son cannot. This is not just a matter of intelligence, but also has a lot to do with the emperor's character. If this little emperor is the Emperor Taiping, he might be a good emperor, but now his personality cannot restrain the heroes at all. From this point of view, if the Han Dynasty has been fully equipped, it is definitely not unfounded."

Pei Qing sighed secretly, and even felt a little sympathetic to the little emperor. He became the emperor at a young age, but it was a bit sad that he would not be able to make decisions by himself, and even if he was not an emperor, he could not make decisions.

Just when Pei Qing was feeling, Wang Yun bowed to the little emperor and said, "Your Majesty, the old minister is about to say this. Zhu Gongwei is indeed in my mansion. However, this is not something that the old minister cannot be used. However, if he leads a five thousand army into Chang'an City, I am afraid that anyone will doubt his intentions. Now the country is in danger. As a minister, Zhu Jun must of course share the worries of the country. However, Zhu Jun is a mature and polite person. I hope that he can help General Lu Bu defend the city so that he can ensure the safety of Chang'an.

After all, the ultimate goal of the thief is Chang'an, and our ultimate goal is to guard against the security of Chang'an. As for Xinfeng, the old minister believes that although our army is not large, there are also old generals of the Western Liang army such as Hu Zhen and Li Su. All we lack is a powerful commander. Now General Pei is a royal relative and a new auxiliary general of the Han Dynasty. He is not only loyal to the court, but also has the ability to command troops. Weichen believes that no one is more suitable for this commander besides him."

When Lu Bu heard this, he was furious, because this strengthened Wang Yun's strength in Chang'an, while Lu Bu's subordinates Li Su, Hu Zhen and others were transferred out of Chang'an. It was at this time that Wang Yun was still plotting.

So Lu Bu said, "It's not right. Although Pei Yuanqing has abilities and his position is not low, he is young and has a low prestige, so he is not enough to suppress the powerful generals of Xiliang. Zhu Gongwei is famous and the generals of Xiliang army are more afraid of. It is more appropriate for him to go to Xinfeng to help him. What's more, Pei Yuanqing has already engaged in a engagement with the princess. What if there is a mistake, what should the princess do?"

Wang Yun insisted: "It is precisely because Pei Yuanqing and the princess got engaged, that we should go to the front of the battle in person. Your Majesty, Fengxian, think about it, as a royal relative, Pei Qing went to the front of the battle in person, which is a morale-inspiring thing? At that time, everyone will definitely strive for the first place. In this way, all the battles that we could not win were won. On the other hand, Pei Yuanqing, as a royal relative, was deeply favored by the emperor and did not want to contribute to the country. Others may have no reason to be loyal to the country."

Pei Qing heard this and immediately bowed and said, "The General of the Last is not unwilling to serve the country, but he is powerless, because most of the troops stationed outside the city are under the command of Zhu Cheqi, and some are actually under the command of Tao Qian, the governor of Xuzhou. There are only five hundred people who really belong to the Last is the last. If Wang Situ wants the General of the Last is to lead the army to fight, the General of the Last is of course not to refuse. However, if he wants the General of the Last is to defeat, he needs to give the General of the Last is to give the General the corresponding power, and at the same time he also has to praise the soldiers under the General of the Last is the only way to fight."

When Wang Yun heard this, his face suddenly appeared angry and said coldly: "Hmph, how are you going? But if you can say it together, the court will naturally allow it. But if you take the opportunity to threaten and wait for a price, it will not be done by loyal ministers and righteous men, who have let down His Majesty's trust and are not worthy of being a royal relative."

Pei Qing sighed when he heard this, "The General of the Mo is just to appease the generals under his command so that they can unite and serve the country wholeheartedly. How dare they ask too much? Since Wang Situ asked, the General of the Mo is going to talk about his thoughts and ask Situ to help him make an idea. First, the General of the Xuzhou governor Tao Qian led the cavalry commander Zang Ba. He originally respected the order of the General of the Tao to go to Zhongmu to support Zhu Cheqi, but was inspired by the General of the Mo to come outside Chang'an City and stationed for several days without regrets. The General of the Mo wants to ask Situ to praise the General of the Tao and General Zang Ba."

"This is easy to deal with. Tao Qian is loyal to the country and can be promoted to Xuzhou Governor and General Andong; Zang Ba's loyalty to the country is commendable and can be appointed as the military captain to encourage him."

"Hiss... this guy is really a big deal. He actually appointed Tao Qian as Xuzhou Mu. Is this acknowledge Tao Qian's military separatist status?" Pei Qing was shocked by Wang Yun's big deal, because the Xuzhou Mu and the Xuzhou Governor were not the same magnitude as the Xuzhou Governor, because the Xuzhou Governor was generally only responsible for the supervision of officials, which was equivalent to the senior official of the entire Xuzhou. However, the Xuzhou Governor was the chief executive and the military was captured in one hand. Xuzhou Mu was equivalent to the head of the administrative department and the commander of the entire Xuzhou, and also in charge of financial power. In the era of chaotic separatism, it was equivalent to the recognition of his separatist status.

"Although Tao Qian actually has control over Xuzhou, this formal recognition is indeed a big deal, and no one is worried about his country." Pei Qing sighed in his heart, but he also knew that with the current decline of the imperial court, even if he did not admit it, it would not change the fact that the warlords split and separatist.

"There are also generals under Zhu Cheqi, Zhang Chao and Xu Yu. They are now Sima of other departments and have no appointments from the court. I hope Wang Situ can give them official military positions."

Pei Qing originally wanted to bribe Zhang Chao and Xu Yu through this move, but Wang Yun said flatly: "Then you appoint Zhang Chao as the cavalry commander. As for Xu Yu, I think he and his soldiers should be allowed to enter the city and assist Zhu Gongwei in guarding Chang'an. General Pei, you can't take Zhu Gongwei's army away, right? In that case, Zhu Gongwei has no army to command, so what's the use of staying in Chang'an?"
